Nice course

Very nice layout to this course. Was not prime condition but it’s February too. Nice tree line on fairways. Not the typical Florida course, rolling and the greens also have undulating surface. Would love to play in summer.

NO two holes are the same. GReat elevation changes to go along with a very interesting layout. We were paired with two first timers, and they enjoyed everything about the course.

Winter golf

The greens were slow and bumpy, needed mowing. Understand it is Feb. and weather here can be up and down. Will play again because it is a nice challenge the number 1 and 2 handicap holes will test your skills.

Niceville's Gem

Supremely friendly staff. Played on an extremely busy day (WED.). On Hole-10, Pro Shop Staff came around and made some adjustments to speed up play. He was utterly nice about it. I usually play 18-holes in 3-hrs. I played Rocky Bayou in 4-hr. Greens in beautiful condition. Course has challenges-- plenty of dog legs, hills. Nothing boring about the architecture here. Extremely windy day. First time playing. Lots of water hazards, which I like. All in all, a great value and an exciting course.

Its wonderful!

The staff is at its best! The course is perfect, rarely do women get a decent tee box to hit off of, but this course does! Greens and fairways. Perfect! No problem driving 45 minutes to play this course. Keep up the great work!
